Sea Gypsies: The Far Side of the World (2016, US, Nico Edwards, 77 minutes. Language advisory)

In early Feb 2014, during the iciest year on record in the Southern Ocean, 120-ft ketch Infinity and her crew of 16 left New Zealand on an 8,000 mile pacific crossing to Patagonia, with a stop in Antarctica. The expedition was undertaken with a non-ice-reinforced gypsy boat built by hand in the 1970's, crewed by a band of wandering miscreants, with no permits or insurance and an almost non-existent budget. This is a story about sailing, the camaraderie of a shared struggle and the raw awe inspiring power of the natural world.
